Courons vîte: l'astronomie est bonne à quelque chose

Noël Le Mire after Jean-Michel Moreau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a scene with two figures, one seemingly assisting the other, possibly a child. The figures are depicted in an etching style with detailed line work and shading. In the background, there are trees, foliage, and distant rooftops, all rendered with depth and detail. The color palette is monochromatic, in shades of black and white.
